The car freaking sounds AWESOME!! I had a frayed wire problem, was no where I have been, or anybody since the dealer touched it last spring . Can I or Peter prove BMW is at fault, yea right. $300 wire bundle and everything was looking better, so Peter went ahead and remapped my ECU.

In a nut shell:
CSL headers
HJS high flow race cats
ECU remapped
Labor, some coffee, some welding here and over there and I am ready for a trip to the Ring.

Performance Mods for the first dyno were: CAI, B&B muffler 285 HP & 228 Torq
Performance mods for the second dyno were: CAI, B&B muffler, CSL headers, HJS cats, remapped ECU (new wire bundle to the engine - does this count - who knows, but Peter insisted on replacing it before he put his name to it) 316 HP / 251 Torq.

Was it worth it, HELL YES! Pulls pretty hard. Peter even adjusted my Koni rears after his test drive - said I needed to be a little more firm back there! This evening I went cruzing around, window down, 2 hours later & almost a half a tank of gas, I didn't want to get out of the car

What type of dyno machine was it, I don't know. Why didn't he reach redline on both printouts, don't know that one either! It was a Friday evening, and I just wanted my car back & to go driving. So post up your questions & comments and I will field them or take them to Peter if I can't answer them - Thanks for looking.
Gus

PS - I guess it is time to change my signature

Hard to make any comments here.

We would need to know the type of Dyno, SAE or RAW Numbers? With what you are saying, I cant imagine they are SAE corrected as 285whp @ 6500rpms is unheard of for those mods.

The second graph looks better with 316 PS. I am guessing he only took it to 6500rpm because the car wasn't in dyno mode so that is all he could do.

The 285 is before the headers & tune. I will have to ask what type of dyno he has.
